"Discourses on Livy" is the founding document of modern
republicanism, and Harvey C. Mansfield and Nathan Tarcov have
provided the definitive English translation of this classic work.
Faithful to the original Italian text, properly attentive to
Machiavelli's idiom and subtlety of thought, it is eminently
readable. With a substantial introduction, extensive explanatory
notes, a glossary of key words, and an annotated index, the
"Discourses" reveals Machiavelli's radical vision of a new science
of politics, a vision of "new modes and orders" that continue to
shape the modern ethos.
"[Machiavelli] found in Livy the means to inspire scholars for five
centuries. Within the "Discourses," often hidden and sometimes
unintended by their author, lie the seeds of modern political
thought. . . . [Mansfield and Tarcov's] translation is careful and
idiomatic."--Peter Stothard, "The Times"
"Translated with painstaking accuracy--but also great
readability."--"Weekly Standard"
"A model of contemporary scholarship and a brave effort at
Machiavelli translation that allows the great Florentine to speak
in his own voice."--"Choice"
